Hi Ben, I hope you dont mind my comments and observations. I can feel your Love and Energy........ It's very intense and seductive as well, I can only "imagine" what it must be like to have the personal Love and attention of that family. I would trade anything for spiritual Love, so there's no problem in making a choice, for me, if you know what I mean :) I would have a problem in other areas though, such as accepting the church "party line". Since I was brought up as a Christian, I have other reasons for rejecting the church....Not God, or Jesus....but the church. You said..... "He says that seeing changes in me has renewed his own faith in God and Jesus." I can see the change in you Ben, and I hardly know you .... ....you're absolutely "glowing" "Sharing faith is one of the most powerful aspects of my church,...." "We have to bear the risk of offending some, so that we can reach some.....or even one." You are saying "my church" and "we" When did you, make the transition, or am I reading too much into your words? I would love to hear an update, if it's not too personal to share. I agree with you, that the Spirit must be realised through another, for it to manifest as a reality in one's own life. You are truly blessed to have such a caring friend to devote his time and love to you ( the father, I mean) I believe that he does feel priviledged to share with you, Ben. That's the law of spiritual "abundance" if you "give", it will be returned unto you..... even I know that... heh OK, where's F.O.D. when I need him ;) It goes something like this.... "If you cast your bread upon the waters..." many ducks will appear...? I hope y'all have a sense of humor here For the Love of God tks ....ducks! p.s. to Ben, is there any possibility in finding you on IRC sometime? or we might know a mutual aquaintance to give you my email addy... I have impeccable references if y'all need to know who I yam ... in an ealier nick-carnation, that is.... I used to haunt BCFriends quite often take care |
